Not sure if you saw, but we recently discussed one of these!
I just wrote a post about using Kagi search - really enjoying it as a Google alternative (for a price)
I wrote about contributing to a community project and my first time properly using git.

How many are there? I can see two but then the post seems to kind of cut off and I can’t tell if that’s intended.
Either way, awesome idea for a post!

Wow this is a big change and I’m interested to read how it works out for you. I miss when the internet was something you would connect to for a little while then log off and go about your day, so I’m curious what it will be like to return to that model in the modern, always-online world.

That’s all for this entry, but I’ll keep posting more. I’m trying to keep the posts short

Honestly, I’m surprised more people aren’t doing the same! I live in a cell deadzone but broadband works fine, so for me the move was to just get a super minimal cell plan, but I can think of lots of people whose internet use is very time-bound and with minimal performance needs who could get away with just phone tethering at home.

I’m so glad it’s been a good experience! Your contributions (like the FAQ) were immensely helpful. And believe it or not, while I do use git for individual projects this is also my first time collaborating via git, so we were all learning together.

Only a few posts since April, and I hadn’t felt any particular urge to upload. This first one is from 2023, but updated and cleaned up a bit.

The Weekly Wrap Up is posted! Links this week include a site that crawls links between 88x31 buttons, a curated collection of indie web sites and did you know that popes used to have warships? I completed another cross-stitch project, went thrifting and, as usual, I listened to, read and watched things.

nice cross stitch finish! working on my first black aida piece and its hard!
Thank you!
Good luck with your black aida project! If you can put something bright behind your fabric to show up the holes, it will make things so much easier! You can use a piece of paper in your lap, have a tablet screen on and behind it or one person on the crossstitching subreddit put a strip of LED lights around the inside of her hoop. I thought that was the coolest and now I want my hoops to be LED lit.

This morning I read the newest blog post by @manuelmoreale about organ donation and felt I wanted to reply. But instead of writing an e-mail I wrote a blog post. The quickest one I’ve ever written.

I really appreciate both you and @manuelmoreale ‘s writing on this. I worked with lung/heart transplant patients for eight years and I saw total miracles (in the scientific and only quasi-spiritual sense). I am also so annoyed to see how many more hoops there are to be a donor in your countries - I’m in the wild and crazy US and it’s still just a question they ask you when you get your drivers’ licenses.
I have strong feelings about people choosing no on this because I have a pretty intimate understanding of organ registries and the harvesting process. Unfortunately, in my country there are conspiracists who think that they will kill anyone in a coma in hospitals for their organs and most people in my extended family believe this.
I do support it being a choice though, even if your reasons are stupid and selfish (as they often are), as the uterus-having portions of our population are losing more and more control over their own bodies in life (and in brain-death, like the case in Atlanta).
I hope your posts nudge one more person to double-check to see if they’re a donor. Transplantation is incredible.

I waffled about writing this one, but after reading through the last few posts on organ donation and noting some of the attitudes towards religious beliefs in them, I figured my perspective as someone from a mixed faith background might be unique, if nothing else.

This is an important perspective too and one I haven’t heard anything quite like. We are our own but we are webbed into the people around us, too.

Thank you for sharing such a personal post. 
I support organ donation in general, but situations are complicated. I don’t have any religious or familial reasons to not be a donor, but I do have a medical one. Until medicine learns more about my chronic illnesses, I don’t want to risk the chance that donating might pass them on to someone else.
